Multiple blog summary pages

I'm creating a new website for sharing news and photos for my family. I want to use the iWeb blog for my entries and plan to do some customization of my site through HTML snippits, iFrames, etc. I've been reading quite a bit on this forum and other useful sites on how to do more with iWeb, but I can't seem to find a solution for the following problem.
Let's say I allow 15 blog entries to be shown on my blog summary page yet over time I build a site with 50 or more entries. Then at least 35 will be on the archive page and that's alot to scroll through. I'd like to have the first 15 on blog summary page 1 then the next 15 on blog summary page 2, etc. Call it multiple archive pages if you will. But I want iWeb to keep track of the blog entries on those additional pages instead of me having to create new non-blog pages and copy and paste links to my entries.
Here's an example

Any way to do this with iWeb 09?
FYI, I know there are a lot of other blogging software and hosting sites out there, but I want to use iWeb 09 because I've already created one site in the past with iWeb so I'm familiar with it. I also have a Mobile Me account with a domain name through goDaddy, so I'm publishing my iWeb site to Mobile Me with password protection.
Appreciate the help.

first, iweb limits blog summary to display 50 entries, so you are kinda limited if you want to have a continuous blog over the years.
if you have less than 50 entries per year, you have to break your blog into the year and have a master archive page and link all archive blog(s) to it.
once you decide what to do, you can use iweb rss feed widget to display the archive as feed, but i don't recommend iweb rss feed widget because it depends on mme server, unreliable at best.
instead you can use yahoo's pipes: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
yahoo pipes is reliable and flexible, you can build your own feed that you can merge other feeds into one or keep them separate, here is my example of merged feeds:
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Entries/2009/7/25Not_iWebWidget.html
or you can tag blog entries by key words or categories, your users can narrow down the entries display with it, here my iweb blog tagging (click on any tagged word on the right side):
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Archive.html
all code is linked to my examples. to do the above, you need to know yahoo pipes, ajax/javascript and iweb inner working parts.

How to make the date disappear on the blog summary page?

Hi,
I have read thru the message on this forum and can't seem to figure out how to hide or make the date disappear on the blog summary page. I can do it on the blog entry pages by turning the color opacity to 0.
I have included my page here:http://www.quantumhealthcentre.com/www.quantumhealthcentre.com/Services/Services .html
Also, if anyone knows how to delete the archive page or inactivate it on my website, please let me know.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peggy

Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

RE: Blog
Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
Why do you suppose this happened?
INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.

Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
particular entry?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
If not, then perhaps you entered
your text in a different text box....did you add a
text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
inadvertently?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.

Blog Summary Page Does Not Update Picture

For some reason, when I create a new blog entry by duplicating the last one and adding new content, the Blog Summary page will not update the picture. I sometimes either have to create a new blank blog entry, or drag a different picture into the placeholder, followed by my original.
Is this happening to anyone else? I think I am going to finish out my year-long blog project with iWeb/MobileMe, then drop both! This is getting to frustrating.

Perhaps to this person:
_blog summary didn't show the pictures_.

A wise move — problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries or all comments or unable to publish, etc. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:

Blog Summary Page: Pictures in blog entries are gone

All of my blog entries on the blog summary page no longer display images set inside the text of an entry. Is this an iWeb 2.0 bug or "feature"?
This is annoying, because with iWeb 1 I was able to share these pictures in my blog summary page and RSS feed. Now my blog and RSS readers have to click the "read more" link to see any pictures, even though I have set my blog summary length to the total entry.
This is a serious loss of feature for no good reason, and I hope this is considered a bug and will be fixed soon.

I was just getting ready to post a similar question when I ran across yours. I've been using Rapid Weaver for my blog and was thinking about switching over to iWeb, but until the pictures start showing up on the summary page (inside the text of an entry), iWeb is utterly non-functional for my purposes.
The other thing I noticed is that none of the formatting (like bold or italics text) shows up inside the text of an entry on the summary page either.
I, too, am very interested in whether this is a "bug" or a "feature."

Blog summary page echoes blog entry but not the pic...?

My blog summary page echoes my blog entries' text but not the image file. I either get the stock photo that comes in the template, or no image at all. What's wrong?

Never mind folks...Once I submitted this, I found an identical query in the "More LIke This" box at the side of this page that gave me my answer. I have another question now that I'll pose in a new thread...

Help! New Blog Summary Page titles are publishing in red!

Hi. All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, my new Blog titles, and the "Read more..." link on the cover/summary page, are publishing in red rather than black to the folder. The older ones still publish in black. It's doing it on two separate Blog pages. Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

Hi, thanks for your reply. I don't see anything signifying a default color in the hyperlink section of the inspector. The titles have always shown as black on the blog entry page in iweb, and in the blog summary page the titles and "Read more..." have always shown as red, with the rest of the text in the entry being black. And then all the text has always gone to black after publishing until now. As an experiment I changed the color of one of the titles to green, and it still published in red.

Can we do multiple blog summary pages instead of "go to archive"??

Hello,
I have about 50 blog entries in my iWeb blog. I have 15 loading onto the first page. Any more really slows the front page loading times a lot. The only way to see the other blog entries is to click on "go to archive" which just shows a simple text list. Is there a way to have many summary pages of blog entries so a blog reader can click on "next page" and see them, much nicer than just seeing text titles in a list.
-Josh

I am having the same issue. 50 looks like the limit.
I have made a new podcast/blog page for newer work, leaving the old stuff up on the already existing pages. Maybe you can just retitle all your pages by year, and just keep adding new ones as necessary.
The other problem I have is, that iTunes only lists entries visible on the Home page. So if I choose to feature only the newest podcast, it will be the only one that is catalogued by iTunes for download in the iTunes store.
This forces me to list every episode on the main page, which looks crummy, and basically eliminates the need for an "Archive" altogether.
Why doesn't iTunes use the iWeb generated Archive for this, or am I missing something major here?

How i upload a web page named index.html generated by NI Web UI Builder in thin client application on world wide Web

Hello All,
I have an example which use simulated signal with its web service generated by LabVIEW. Then an application of this web service was created using NI web UI builder. And application was build and deployed on NI Cloud Portal, a zip file was downloaded of that project after build and deploying application.
The downloaded file contain a thin client application like :index.html page, readme file etc.
Now problems is this index.html runs easily on http://localhost:8080/appname/index.html or on my computer name like
http://iaa42:8080/appname/index.html web page runs and shows updated values in indicators and graphs but when i use ip address of my system like http://192.168.1.6:8080/appname/index.html , index.html runs but the values in indicator and graphs remains 0 (zero) constantly. how can i get all indicators and graphs updating continously on by using my ip address like same when i use localhost or computer name in url bar. 1st problem is this.
Now 2nd question.
I get a page index.html in a zip file built by NI web UI builder now i want this page to be viewed by every one world wide
where should i upload that code. Should NI Cloud Portal be my hosting server for that web page ? or i have to purchase a domain other than NI cloud portal?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Waqas

Hi Waqas,
For your first question, my first thoughts turn to your router (which I assume you are using with a 192.168.x.x address). Are you sure you are configuring your ports and firewalls to allow NI services to function? Here is a really good resource on how to check if your ports and firewalls are configured properly:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/12402/en/
For your second question, when you deploy a web service you are hosting it on your local machine. If you wanted to host it elsewhere (i.e. another server or another domain) you would have to be sure that the server hosting your application has the LabVIEW run-time engine installed.

Cannot publish 1 page in CS4. Other pages including index.html ok. Error message results.

After many months of no difficulty, I suddenly cannot publish changes to one of my pages (all others work) without getting the error message 'Another instance of Contribute is doing a workflow operation. Do you want to break the workflow and continue.....?' Whether I say yes or no and follow the prompts, it doesn't work. One way lets me exit, the other locks up my computer and I have to 'end task' to get control back. I hoped that the answer to the 'cannot publish index page' thread would help, but I didn't understand because most of this stuff is over my head. The only thing unusual I can dectect is the page name has an # sign after html as in 'name.html#tuition.' The word tuition refers to a pointer on the page. When I switch to edit mode, an asteric * appears after 'html' on the page name. I do not see that on any other page when I edit. I have CS4 version 5. Can anyone help? I don't know how many people there are in India, but I talked to half of them in a 2.5 hour 'session' in which I was transferred in a least 3 complete loops to every department and passing 'go' 3 times before some techie finally said I should email my question in and will get a reply within 3 days. Yeah, right. Worst tech support experience I have had in 10 years.

Hi,
Can you try deleting the Preferences and the Contribute's User Configuration folder. You will lose your website connections, you can recreate them again after relaunching Contribute.
If you have installed Contribute in Mac, go to <Username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and delete Contribute CS4 folder there. Also, go to <Username>/Library/Preferences/ folder and delete the 'Adobe Contribute 5 Preferences' file.
If you have installed Contribute in Windows XP, the Contribute's Configuration folder will be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\. Delete the Contribute CS4 folder there. To clear the registry for Contribute, type 'regedit' in the Run window.(Click Start, and click Run, and then type 'regedit' in the text field.) Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, then Adobe, then Contribute CS4. Click Delete button. Close the Registry Editor window.
The <username>, I have mentioned above is the name with which you will have logged into the machine.
Now, Relaunch Contribute and connect to your website and try editing the web pages from your website. Can you try this?

BLOG SUMMARY PAGE - is it possible to change?

Is it possible to create a rolling blog (i.e. no "READ MORE") and have all the entries one after another?

Blog Summary Page Loses Formatting of Entries

Why does the main blog page dump any italic or bold formatting on the original entry page?? If I "Read More" and go to the original entry, all my italics show up fine... But the main page, from which I'd think most people will read my blog, is all without any formatting.
Any solutions, or simply a quirk of 1.0?
Quite annoying. Definitely one of the many "1.0" things I'm living with in iWeb right now.

Yes, you can drag it right into the text area and then set the wrap for it in the text dialog box. You can even set how closely it wraps.
Another cool little thing I found while playing, it wraps around the object according to opacity! If you place an object so that part of it has below 50% opacity and part has above, only the part over 50% will have text wrap around it.

How do I change the colour of the text on my Blog Summary page?

When I highlight the text, it shows that it is the new colour in the Colours window but the actual text remains the original colour

Well, if you decide you love the theme and the zoom controls in the top bar, then cor-el's method is still available.

Blog Summary/Entry-link on front-page?

Hi all!
I have a front-page and a blog-page on my newly created iWeb '08 site, and it's working great.
However I'd like to have my blog-entries show up on the front-page, just the title as a link, that takes you to the blog entry.
I'd rather not make the blog summary page my front-page, because I like the layout of the front-page, but I'd also like my visitors to be able to quickly go to my blog-posts from the front-page.
Is this possible, maybe via the new Web Widgets feature? Seems like something a lot of people would want to do, and maybe it's right there in front of me, I just can't seeem to find it
Another thing: Has anyone made a "iWeb 08 Web Widgets Repository" or something like that? A place to collect and share great Web Widgets for iWeb?

Use an RSS feeder like feeddigest or your servers own to create a java script that will "scrape" your site. If you don't care what it looks like there are a number of them out there, if you want customization go with feeddigest. You won't get updates very quickly (24 hour turnaround), but it looks better than most.
